The Columbia Law School Admissions team connects with prospective students through a wide range of events, both in person and virtual. These programs are designed to provide insight into our application process, academic offerings, and the dynamic community that defines Columbia Law.
We encourage you to explore the events listed below to learn more about the Law School. If there is not an event scheduled near you or at your institution, you are welcome to submit a request through our Admissions Event Request Form.
Ways to Visit Us
Prospective students are invited to join us for our information sessions, hosted by a Columbia Law School admissions officer and a current student.
During these interactive sessions, you may ask questions and learn more about Columbia Law School—including our application process, career placement services, faculty and curriculum, experiential learning programs, and student life.
Please note that it is not necessary to attend multiple sessions, as the content of each information session is substantially identical.
